Bodies breathe! No two breaths are alike. Each new cycle of breathing can be viewed with curiosity and potential discovery. And we never know if we will get another breath. Each breath is a gift to animate our lives. Breathing consciously provides an opportunity to have a direct relationship with our inner landscapes and for our breath to become an inner resource for our interactions and connection with life—the life which surrounds us. The mission of a Somatic Movement Approach to Breathing is to guide you in establishing an intimate relationship with your breathing and the responsive movements of your body to the changes that arrive in the presence of breath. Noticing how breath moves within you and how the body responds to it are invitations to a deeper knowing of your emotional life, your spiritual life (spirit is literally breath), your physical wellbeing, your health, your professional life, and your private practice.
In this 3-class series that draws on the anatomy and physiology of breathing, Robert Litman will guide you with Continuum explorations to learn to tune in deeply to your own breathing body, an embodied experience that can be passed on to your clients. Personal histories and adaptations to circumstances shape the tensional patterns of our bodies, patterns that, in turn, shape our breathing. Overly protective tensions that arose from trauma, whether hypervigilance or collapse, limit the capacity of the breath to fully provide nourishment to all the cells of the body—bringing in oxygen and removing excess carbon dioxide. Learning to perceive the “messages” that breath, breathing, and our somatic responses to breathing express can inform us as healthcare providers. In fact, Robert believes that learning to read breathing patterns is an essential skill in any somatic movement or complementary field. Equally important is to be able to speak to the client about these patterns and to offer cues that can open new possibilities for wellness.
